I never even thought of considering purchasing a Boxster but after reading forums such as this I thought Id better give 1 a test drive.

I was amazed!!

Having driven many porsches before and owned a couple, I was instantly impressed with the 1 I test drove from a dealer. The handling, steering, balance, brakes all felt perfect. I had test drove a 2003 911 Carrera Cab only the day before and the driving experience was only marginally different to the Boxster.

So for 40% of the price I know have what I believe to be 90% of the car, with equal or if not better handling, and much easier to plod around town on a daily basis rather than a 911.

So after all the ruitine checks, I settled for a 2002 Boxster 2.7 in seal grey color with 30,000 miles on the clock, kept in perfect condition by its previous owner who only sold it to get the 2006 987 s. (lucky him).

I think I chose wisely as my other option would have been maybe a 964 carrera. But was scared of the maintenance on a vehicle of this age.

I look forward to continuing reading these posts and contributing when I can.


Cheers.

You may want to check that sidevent on teh drivers side, it looks like it isnt attached all the way, the bottom edge looks unlatched.

hey if the cops don't hassle you in Argentina you should remove the front plate.
How much in dollars does it cost you to fill up your tank these days?

(jut kidding I know you said Armenia).

Ha Ha. I see you are the joker here.

Look forward to getting you back!

The side vent feels firmly inplace.

So im not sure, i will get someone to look at it.

Thanks CJ Boxster.

I took the car to dealer regarding driver side vent and they informed me that this side vent is normal for my car as it was changed at end of 2002.
The lip was increased a little to stop water, rubbish and ciggerette buts from flying into the vent.

It feels very secure and not loose at all.

another question....The rear deck spoiler on my car seems very unoriginal and I think sorta looks stupid.

Any comments. Would it be easy to remove?

Thanks.

I don't like fixed spoilers on the boxster....I say take it off. The factory retractable spoiler is pretty nifty imo. Some don't like the "flat board" look particulary on the earlier boxster models and if that is the case you can always buy a Caymenesque type spoiler that replaces the stock spoiler.

[smagerstein]

I agree, it look strange..

Have to say that when the factory spoiler is raised it does look heaps better as it sits sort of flush with it.....nah Think i will get rid of it

Ciao
